This morning at 6:09 a.m., Sheila and Dale Tingle released balloons into the sky to honor their daughter’s birthday. It’s the exact time their daughter was born 30 years ago, and it's something they’ve done every year since she went missing on July 17, 2010.
Kara was last seen on Beechfork Loop Road in Gravel Switch. She was driving a family member's car that was found two days later on the Bluegrass Parkway.
Kara has two children, Austin and Nora, who haven’t given up hope that their mother will come home, and the investigation into her disappearance continues.
A $10,500 reward fund has been re-established for information leading to Kara's whereabouts.
